12 Signs You Grew Up In Las Vegas

1. VEGAS!

Excuse me, sorry, but it's Las Vegas not "VEGASSSS."

2. You've gotten used to everyone clapping whenever your plane lands.

But you just moan and roll your eyes because you want to just get off the plane, but all the tourists are already drunk and won't move.

3."So do you live in Las Vegas?" while giving you a creepy smirk

Yes, that is where I just said I lived.

4. "No way, like do you live on the Strip?"

*Continues to roll eyes*

5. Constantly being told, "So it must be a nonstop party there."

Yeah, I totally go to the clubs on a Tuesday afternoon after my classes.

6. You never had to pay for parking.

HUGE FREE PARKING LOTS.

7. Every grocery store and gas station has a large row of slot machines.

No, we are not all gambling addicts.

8. You understand tipping etiquette.

People here understand that the city is run on the tipping industry, so everyone plays their part.

9. "Which hotel do you live in?"

Can you not.

10. People watching on the Strip is one of your favorite pass times.

So many women should not wear heels...ever.

11. You're used to everything being open 24/7.

And when you move, reality slaps you in the face.

12. Although we can get a little bitter by all the questions, we loved growing up in such a incredible city.

Especially if you were born and raised there.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
